Aloha!

The trip to Hawaii was fantastic! I got to hang out with all of my favorite people: my oldest friend from Chicago, Eileen, Kelly, Tracy, my middle sister Colleen, and my college roomate Anna (who came all the way from Geneva, Switzerland). It was great to all be in one place.

Highlights from Oahu included:

Hiking up to Diamond Head (we walked there all the way from our hotel, which added another hour each way)

Snorkeling on the North Shore

Seeing turtles coming in to rest on the beach

Surfing Waikiki beach (my new surfer buddy friend even has video of me!)

Going on an eco-tour and learning about all of the history, flora, fauna, and folklore of the island

Partying until the wee hours (bars stay open until 4am here!) pretty much every night

About Me

At age 16 I took my first international flight to Ireland, to compete in the World Championships of Irish Dance. Since then, my adventurous spirit has, along with getting me into a lot of fun and trouble, led me to 34 countries and counting. I’m on my fourth passport and was once proclaimed an honorary French citizen (that’s a story for another blog)!
